Variations in percent mammographic density (PMD) reflect variations in the amounts of
collagen and number of epithelial and non-epithelial cells in the breast. Extensive PMD is …

Breast density, as assessed by mammography, reflects breast tissue composition. Breast
epithelium and stroma attenuate x-rays more than fat and thus appear light on …

Mammographic features are associated with breast cancer risk, but estimates of the strength
of the association vary markedly between studies, and it is uncertain whether the association …

The amount of radiologically dense breast-tissue appearing on a mammogram varies
between women because of differences in the composition of breast tissue, and is referred …

BACKGROUND: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a three-dimensional mammography
technique with the potential to improve accuracy by improving differentiation between …

In this review, we examine the evidence for mammographic density as an independent risk
factor for breast cancer, describe the risk prediction models that have incorporated density …

Background The assessment of a woman's risk for developing breast cancer has become
increasingly important for establishing personalized screening recommendations and …

Background: We aimed to quantitatively assess the effect of baseline breast density on the
incidence, stage, and mortality, and also the natural course of the disease, considering the …

Early diagnosis of breast cancer, when it is small and has not spread, can make the disease
easier to treat which increases the patient's chances of survival. The recent proposed …

Background Women with elevated mammographic density have an increased risk of
developing breast cancer. However, among women diagnosed with breast cancer, it is …
